A much appreciated holiday gift, and current living room decoration was a couple of mushroom logs from the Rain Forest Mushroom Company out of Eddyville, Oregon. Great we thought, we can follow the directions and enjoy some nice mushrooms. Little did we know how prolific our oyster mushroom log would be.
Within days of soaking our hunk of sawdust, oyster mushrooms had exploded from our log and we very quickly had an impressive amount of some of the finest mushrooms we have ever eaten.
Here's the log after a harvest.
We made savory mushroom crepes, mushroom quesadillas, sauteed mushrooms on salad, and one very large and excellent spinach and mushroom omelette.
While some mushrooms are not prohibitively expensive in the stores, the price, quality and quantity of these Oyster mushrooms makes it hard to want my mushrooms from anywhere else. So next time you find yourself on the small and scenic Highway 20 in the Beautiful state of Oregon, give Rain Forest Mushrooms a try.

Stunning mushrooms. I am tempted to purchase a starter log.

If it wasn't obvious in the post, my advice to you is to get the oyster kit. While the shiitakes were certainly nice, the oysters really blew us away.
If you do get a log I would love to hear how they turn out.
